Genetic modifications in reproductive cells, such as eggs, sperm, or embryos, are commonly referred to as germline editing and are heritable. 1 CRISPR-Cas 9, which stands for clustered regularly ...

Overview of CRISPR/Cas system-based tumor molecular diagnostic strategies, including variant gene, protein, and liquid biopsy marker assays and in situ molecular analysis. The CRISPR/Cas system, known ...

In December 2020, the New England Journal of Medicine published a paper titled CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing for Sickle Cell Disease and β-Thalassemia, marking an exciting new chapter in the treatment of ...

CRISPR-Cas – a gene-editing technique that is far more precise and efficient than any that has come before it – is poised to change the world. But ensuring that those changes are positive – helping to ...

The University of Bayreuth's Biomaterials research group has, for the first time, successfully applied the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool to spiders. Following the genetic modification, the spiders ...

The lack of efficient delivery methods is a major barrier to clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein (CRISPR/Cas)-mediated genome editing in many plant ...
